jQuery Coda slider panel height issue

[supermankd]

For some reason the height of the panel div is calculated as a set number of pixels… once I switch panels and come back it is calculated to fit the content(height:auto; like it should be). I have been beating my head off the desk for hours trying to figure this one out.

website in question:
I’vehttp://kyam.ca/kyam06/

jquery.coda-slider-2.0.js:
http://kyam.ca/kyam06/js/jquery.coda-slider-2.0.js
settings used:

Code:

settings = $.extend({
autoHeight: true,
autoHeightEaseDuration: 1000,
autoHeightEaseFunction: “easeInOutExpo”,
autoSlide: false,
autoSlideInterval: 7000,
autoSlideStopWhenClicked: true,
crossLinking: true,
dynamicArrows: false,
dynamicArrowLeftText: “« left”,
dynamicArrowRightText: “right »”,
dynamicTabs: false,
dynamicTabsAlign: “center”,
dynamicTabsPosition: “top”,
externalTriggerSelector: “a.xtrig”,
firstPanelToLoad: 1,
panelTitleSelector: “h2.title”,
slideEaseDuration: 1000,
slideEaseFunction: “easeInOutExpo”
}, settings);

this must have something to do with the panel height but makes no sense to me (I’m a total newb when it comes to js):

Code:

// Set the height of the first panel
if (settings.autoHeight) {
panelHeight = $(‘.panel:eq(‘ + (currentPanel – 1) + ‘)’, slider).height();
slider.css({ height: panelHeight });
};

This is the css:

I was wrong about the window height so I edited my post. It is always calculated at the same initial height no matter the window size.

I added a height attribute to the solutions pic on the first panel… Problem solved!
